Apocalyptic Rebirth - C115 wicked person
Lu Yiyi’s room.
Lu Yiyi’s hands somewhat awkwardly cleaned up the room, while Wen Xi also awkwardly sat on the chair to the side. He did not say anything, and seemed to be angry.
After a long while, Lu Yiyi finally sat on the bed and looked at Wen Xi.
Wen Xi looked at Lu Yiyi, and turned her head, but did not say a word.
Lu Yiyi went forward and half-squatted at Wen Xi’s feet, then pulled his hand and said: “Xiao Xi, are you blaming mother?”
The moment he was grabbed, Wen Xi wanted to struggle free, but it could be seen that Lu Yiyi’s hand still had not moved.
Lu Yiyi’s eyes were filled with tears, and said: “But you have never been like this, do you blame your mother? Tell me, your mother will change …”
As he finished speaking, he began to sob pitifully, and that look was extremely pitiful. Wen Xi could not bear to do it, so he sighed and helped Lu Yiyi to sit on the bed, and said: “Mom, don’t think too much into it. I’m not blaming you, I’m blaming myself.”
Lu Yiyi choked with sobs: “What you’re blaming yourself for is your mother’s fault. I shouldn’t have talked to that Flammulina, I shouldn’t have let down Old Wen.”
Wen Xi patted Lu Yiyi’s back and said: “Mom, you’re right. I really am blaming myself, blaming myself for not being able to hurt you, blaming myself for not being able to protect you. If daddy is here …”
Before he had even finished speaking, Lu Yiyi had only heard a few words before he cried. Wen Xi was blaming himself for saying the wrong things out of excitement so he hurriedly comforted Lu Yiyi.
“Mom, don’t be sad. Daddy is gone. And me, I will protect you.”
It was unknown if Lu Yiyi heard it or not, but she held onto Wen Xi’s waist and said: Xiao Xi, Mom will protect you.
Wen Xi did not know what to say, and could only pat Lu Yiyi’s back to comfort her.
Furthermore, he did not see the viciousness gushing out of Lu Yiyi’s eyes. If Xi Shiyu saw that, she would be scared and hide behind Lin Lin.
After Lu Yiyi had calmed her mood, she started to discuss with her about what she should do after bringing her down here.
“Mom, don’t tell the people here about your ability.”
Lu Yiyi was startled, then said: “Why? If the people here knew that I could produce water, they would definitely treat us well. At that time, we wouldn’t have to be afraid of anything anymore.”
Wen Xi shouted in disagreement, “Mom, this matter is not that simple. If only you thought this way, it would be fine. But I think that whatever Flammulina is, he isn’t a good person.
In the end, he was still a teenage boy, so he was too embarrassed to say some things.
Lu Yiyi instead blushed, and said: “Wen Xi, don’t worry, I won’t do anything that would let your father down.”
“Mom, dad is no longer here. If you meet someone you like in the future, I won’t mind if they treat you well, but they are definitely not people like the Flammulina, and he isn’t someone worth entrusting the trust.”
Lu Yiyi nodded, then said: “But will they reveal our situation to Lin Lin?”
“That won’t happen, Lin Lin is very cautious, I believe that she wouldn’t say anything, but she definitely won’t say anything else.”
Two months of interaction was still a bit useful, at least it was enough for Wen Xi to get a good grasp of Lin Lin’s personality.
“Mom,” Wen Xi said as he touched Lu Yiyi’s hand. “The road ahead may be difficult, but if it’s the last resort, you must not tell anyone that you can produce water, okay?”
Lu Yiyi lowered his head, a trace of unknown light flashing past her eyes, she then raised his head and gently smiled: “I got it, Xiao Xi, let’s eat first.”
The two of them started to eat and rest here, and it was the same for Lin Lin. In short, when they just arrived here, they all had the same idea, and they didn’t easily reveal their trump cards. They all deeply understood that this Flammulina was not a good person!
As for the Flammulina, he took the keys and went out.
However, he did not go out. Instead, he went downstairs. It was not the first floor, but the next floor.
In this orphanage, there was actually a basement. It was dark and humid, and the smell of moss filled the air. There was not a single ray of sunlight, only a dim candle every ten meters, but the visibility was very low.
This basement was definitely not a good place to do good deeds before the apocalypse, and now, it was even less so.
The two of them carried guns in their hands. When they noticed that someone had entered, they raised their spears, and when they saw that it was Flammulina, they put down their spears and greeted respectfully, “Flammulina.”
The Flammulina had changed from the infatuated look he had towards Lin Lin and the others. His stern temperament made him look like a hoodlum, or perhaps the boss of a gang.
“What’s going on?”
One of the guards said, “Since yesterday, he has been crying, neither eating nor drinking. He has always said that he wants to see you.”
Flammulina frowned, “Are you sick?”
The guard shook his head and said: “I’ve already let Dr. Kong see it. He said that he isn’t sick, and it seems that he’s a little weak from not eating anything. Dr. Kong originally wanted to give him glucose, but he refused.
When Flammulina heard this, his face became even uglier, and he cursed, “Stinking brat!”
The guards all listened quietly, not saying a word.
Flammulina instructed the two of them, “Watch out, if any outsiders come, shoot them.” Then he took out his key to open the lock and entered.
In the past, when people came in, they would have to bring a lamp with them. But when Flammulina didn’t use it, he raised his hand and the flame surrounding his hand was enough to light up the path in front of him.
After going down a ladder that was more than ten steps, Flammulina arrived at a room that was similar to an ancient cell.
The iron rods were separating the inside from the outside. Not to mention a small child, even a strong man would not be able to move the iron rods that were as thick as a thumb.
Inside the room, a small boy was sleeping on the straw covered floor.
Flammulina called out, “Chen Chen?”
The boy moved and returned to his previous dead state, as if he was dead.
Flammulina kicked the iron rod, releasing a clear sound, which was enough to wake a sleeping person up.
“Chen Chen, I know you’re awake. Get up.”
This time, the movement of the boy was greater than before. He struggled to sit up and slowly turned his head, but his pale face scared Flammulina.
“What’s going on? Why is he so weak?”
Previously, when he heard from the higher ups that he was not going to eat and that he was so weak that he was about to take glucose, Flammulina did not care too much.
His voice was extremely weak, but in the empty basement, it clearly reverberated in Flammulina’s ears, “Don’t forget, you have locked me up here for a week. I have not seen the sunlight for a week, a week is spent together with darkness.”
He said “you” with a disapproving look on his face, “Chen Chen, no matter what, I am still your uncle …”
Before he could finish his sentence, the boy laughed and interrupted him, “Hahaha, Chen Zhengyi, you know you’re my uncle, and you know it too? Hahahaha!”
In fact, the boy looked like he was at most ten years old, but his words sounded more like an old man who had experienced too much than a child. His heart was dead.
“Chen Chen, look at what you’re saying. If it wasn’t for your disobedience, do you think I would have needed to keep you locked up here for so long? And you even gave me a hunger strike, you think I would have eaten this?”
Chen Chen looked at Chen Zhengyi with disdain, and the corners of his mouth filled with mockery, “Who cares if you eat this or not, you should care whether I die or not, right?”
The veins on Chen Zhengyi’s forehead popped out, in his mother’s entire life, she had never eaten a turtle here with a little brat, and she was even his own biological brother’s son!
“Chen Chen, listen to me, I’m your uncle, I won’t treat you badly, as long as you use your power to help me, in the future, this tribe will be under the control of my two uncles, do you understand?”
“Bah!” Chen Chen’s eyes were fierce, like a hungry wolf, he stared at Chen Zhengyi, he wanted to eat Chen Zhengyi’s flesh, drink Chen Zhengyi’s blood, and scold him, “Chen Zhengyi, don’t use that on me, you little bastard, your grandfather has long rejected it, don’t say that you’re my uncle!”
Furthermore, the person who called him that was not even as tall as his waist and not as thick as his arms. If not for the fact that he accidentally discovered that this brat could treat other people’s injuries, and decided to keep him in the clan, based on what he had said, he would have died a few times already.
However, after Chen Chen scolded her for a while, she seemed to have used up all of her strength and courage. What remained was even more fear of darkness and death, and she couldn’t help but cry out: “It’s all because of you, if it wasn’t for you, I could have saved my father and he wouldn’t have died. If it wasn’t for you, I would still be together with my mother.
He was afraid, really afraid.
The monster seemed to have appeared out of thin air, biting his friends, Uncle Li, the people he knew, and the people he didn’t know.
When he was the closest to the monsters, he could smell the stench coming from their faces. He would never forget that face even until now. He could still dream about it, and every time he woke up, he would either cry or cry out loudly.
In the past, his parents had held him and comforted him.
What accompanied him now was nothing more than a pile of withered grass and an endless darkness.
He was in despair. He was truly in despair.
Every day, when he opened his eyes, all he saw was darkness. When he closed his eyes, all he saw was darkness.
He could not tell day from night, and even if someone brought him food for three meals a day, he did not know whether he was eating breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
It was as if he was trapped inside a huge black box. There was no one there, no light.
All he could hear was the sound of water dripping in the corner and the sound of his heart beating.
He hated those monsters, hated those soldiers who had abandoned them, hated the person in front of him even more. He hated this person who had bled the same blood as him but had killed his parents and imprisoned him!
Chen Zhengyi, this evil person who angered Grandfather to death, wanted to kill all of his siblings!
One day, he would definitely kill him!
